This video explains how they filmed that land speeder scenes on Tatooine in the movie "Star Wars: A New Hope" using practical effects.

That’s what makes classic movies legends because the practical effects make everything so real. George Lucas knew how to do that really well. Props to him.

I would rather watch a movie with only practical effects than a movie with only CGI

The haze created from the hover craft was Vaseline smudged on the camera lenses. I remember the interview when he admitted it.

Practical effects is why horror movies from the late 80s early 90s are much more terrifying than the CGI movies we get now

Practical effects were an addition to movie that wouldn't overpower it. The story is still king. When CGI is the focus of the movie over story, it doesn't matter how good the CGI is. The story has to come first.

those practical effects looked way better than cgi today

[numbernanaof]

I love all the special effects they did. So much better than CGI.

The illusion and practical effects is creativity and talents hard at work by many artists and skilled craftsmen. Nothing can replace them.

[Oyeahskar]

Omg all these effects are so much cooler than the actuall CGI

[ericerto]

The special effects back then we're just genius.

my favorite is the iconic blaster noise coming from whacking a hammer on a metal tension cable. the investment to profit ratio there is mind boggling

[Fred_Klingon]

It's crazy how good it looks, even the shadow is perfect

[Just_Proudy]

Industrial light and magic practical effects beats CGI

[DABinCHRIST]

That's pretty cool, that's definitely better than all the CGI they use now for everything

[Birdman_in_CLE]

That is why all of the Mad Max movies look so good. Even the latest one uses a majority of practical effects. They built the cars, plates the flame throwing guitars and kicked up actual desert dust.

The “magic” used in the old days was incredibly creative and with a very good amount of talented people, nowadays you can use both, the old magic and technology being used in newer films.

Beautiful...Clever...Smart... Ingenious!

One common thread with all of the shows, movies etc that I have LOVED over the last 20 years is that they do as much as they can with practical effects. Evil is finishing up right now and they do all the demons and shit with practical effects. It's awesome

[LifeChangingToucan]

I miss these quality of movies…if practical effects vs cgi is part of it…idk you tell me

[alexbelle]

CGI is still not ready to take over. long Live Practical Effects 🎥
